Description

The building is a former dovecote that has been converted into a game larder, located approximately 20 yards northeast of Blithfield Hall. It is likely from the early 19th century, with an addition made in 1861. The structure is built of brick, which is plastered and lined to resemble ashlar, and features a hipped slate roof. It has an octagonal plan and stands two storeys high, consisting of a single cell. The ground floor has circular window openings, while the first floor has cross windows. There is a gabled porch on the first floor, dated 1861, which is accessed by a flight of steps. A louvred dormer is present, and the roof is topped with a weathervane. The building is surrounded by coped brick walls that extend approximately 50 yards to the northeast and about 30 yards to the south, with the northeast wall featuring a four-centred arch doorway near its connection to the game larder.
